About Milky Oats: Every August, several Avena staff join the gardeners in hand harvesting three hundred pounds of the fresh, green, milky Oat seeds. Some of these seeds are immediately tinctured in organic alcohol, some are infused in glycerin and the rest fill our two drying rooms for later use in Avena's tea blends.

Biodynamics: Agriculture in Service of the Earth and Humanity

Biodynamic Agriculture is a holistic, ecological, and ethical approach to gardening and farming — one that we at Avena Botanicals have been practicing since 1998.

Around the world, people are studying and applying Biodynamic principles and practices in gardens, farms, and orchards to support the Earth’s healing and resilience. Based on the work of philosopher and scientist Dr. Rudolf Steiner, Biodynamics has continued to evolve and grow since 1924. From seed to bottle, we are dedicated to caring for our garden... soil, trees, medicinal plants, pollinators, each other, and you, with integrity, respect, and love.
